As an alternative to both secondary and tertiary amides, we report their convenient synthesis by the rapid oxidation of trifluoroborate iminiums (TIMs). The circular economy and local production are now areas of expertise that enable SOBEGI to offer responsible industrial investors a competitive, unique range of solutions in Europe.Although highly effective for most amide syntheses, the activation of carboxylic acids requires the use of problematic coupling reagents and is often poorly suited for challenging cases such as N-methyl amino acids. The site's renewal spawned these new activities that support the energy transition and energy efficiency, which are vital to stay on track for the 2 degrees Celsius target agreed on at the Paris COP21 in 2015.
Lacq's industrial story continues, as a new chapter in the history of the energy transition. Chimex, a L'Oréal affiliate specializing in fine chemicals, has been able to certify that the steam it uses comes from waste solvent-to-energy recovery. In exchange, SOBEGI's customers capitalize on the environmental quality of the energy they use on site. The CO 2 is purified to meet the food quality standard for making carbonated beverages, for example." BSO also supplies Messer with carbon dioxide from corn fermentation. "For example, since 2009 Bioénergie du Sud-Ouest (BSO, a Vertex affiliate) has been producing bioethanol from corn grown in the region. "We're also seeking out every synergy that could improve the complex's environmental performance," Verbrugge said. Keep in mind that gas is the lowest-carbon fossil fuel, emitting only half as much as the coal that is still too often used in power plants in Europe. Marketable surplus power will be fed into the national grid. The steam and power produced by SOGEBI's PEGAZE units will be sold and used by customers at the Induslacq site. Taken from the Lacq reservoir, the gas doesn't need to be transported, eliminating additional costs and carbon emissions.
There are many advantages to producing energy locally. For more on the subject: Flaring: Equivalent to taking 77 million cars off the road?.
Our strength is being able to incorporate locally produced energy - gas, power and steam - at a complex industrial facility that involves the regulation of different systems," Verbrugge said. "PEGAZE will produce enough to supply 50 percent of Lacq's power needs. Its subsequent sister project, PEGAZE 2, will bring the total power generated to 20 MW in early 2019. The first, PEGAZE 1, is scheduled to start in summer 2018, when three engines will be installed to deliver 12 megawatts (MW) of power.

The project's code name, PEGAZE, is a French acronym for "producing power from surplus gas." It involves supplying an engine with gas recovered from the site, to produce both power and heat." "SOBEGI looked at several alternatives and opted for cogeneration. "We had to find a way to unlock the value of the surplus methane," Verbrugge added. To optimize the economics, it was decided to stop purifying it to the level required by national commercial specifications." He said: "The methane produced can't be exported to the national network. To supply Arkema with its hydrogen sulfide (H 2S) feedstock, the gas extracted from the local subsurface has to be treated on an on-demand basis, to separate the H 2S from the methane.Įric Verbrugge, senior industrial development engineer for Total Développement Régional 3, is based at SOBEGI and responsible for attracting new investors.
